Were the men from the famed World War II Army Air Corps called the “Tuskegee Airmen” involved?
No. Although the first government program to train black men for the Army Air Corps was sometimes called the “Tuskegee Experiment,” the men in the flight training had nothing to do with the Study. There is sometimes confusion on this because of the title of the flight program and because Laurence Fishburne stared in two HBO movies, one about the airmen and one about the Study.
